OS 10 and AF-Pilot
I just upgraded my AF-5500 to version 10 of the operating system. During flight I could not engage the AF-Pilot using the AF-5500 buttons. I was able to engage the AF-Pilot using the EFIS button on the autopilot head. I checked the system settings and they appear the same as before the new operating system installation. What should I check to reinstate autopilot on/off control from the EFIS?
Thanks,
Greg

Make sure that you have the AF-Pilot serial port (TX+RX) wired to the EFIS and the EFIS serial port is configured as AF-Pilot.
There should be a ENGAGE and DISENGAGE button on the EFIS AP menu.

Thanks, Rob. I didn't see the ENGAGE/DISENGAGE button yesterday. It does work properly now that I know that button is there.
